I really hope the anime series gets an international release, maybe even get an English dub. Because we haven’t had a Transformers anime series pretty much ever since The Unicron Trilogy, unless if you count Transformers Go but that was more of a web series.
If it’s getting a U.S. port and we get the English Dub, I REALLY hope that we get Gary Chalk and David Kaye back as Optimus and Megatron, respectively. But then again, that’s only the best case scenario if they even DO a full series…
On the subject of the designer. It definitely seems like the Diaclone team is involved. The shoulders on Optimus look a lot like the Gamma Tactical Movers.
Wish the truck mode was more unique but I am loving the proportions. This is what recent Optimus designs were missing god damn I love it… kinda a lot of transformers designs, they’ve been missing some really nice shoulders, gotta give em that big presence
I'll wait and see, but I'm hopefully considering that Studio Trigger just did the TF 40th Anniversary short for Takara Tomy. If Studio Trigger even does a short format Japanese anime series, I think it would still be cool. And if this does well...maybe we'll get a revamped version of Transformers: Zone afterwards.
I want to give props to Slag Podcast for interpreting and pronouncing the Japanese Katakana names quite well! Since residing in Japan for years I know my fair share of both Japanese language and Japanese use of English words, so I decided to share below my attempt to bring precision in translating the ‘Energy Beast’ names, as I did notice a few discrepancies in pronunciation and translation from Katakana to English. Just for fun, I also added phonetic readings (for katakana enthusiasts) to help read the names in a more accurate Japanese pronunciation: WKB-01 Raitall (ra-i-toh-ru) toh-ru = tall (English root Katakana) The ‘rai’ part of name could be for ‘Raijin’ which is the God of Lightning/Thunder in Japan. That is the element for this character, if that’s the case. (Otherwise, could also be a mix of English ‘Rise’ and ‘Tall’) WKB-02 Hydrophant (ha-i-do-ro-fuan-to) WKB-03 Captain Vulca (kya-pu-ten-vol-ka) WKB-04 Reefback (rii-hu-bakku) Even though Katakana ‘rii-hu’ can mean either ‘leaf’ or ‘reef’ (L & R are same sound/letter in Japan) I strongly believe the name is for ‘reef’ based on my experience with Japanese use of English words. WKB-05 Ignite Bite (i-gu-na-i-to-ba-i-to) WKB-06 Spirituan (su-pi-ri-chu-an) Likely a mix of ‘spirit’ and the dinosaur category called ‘Gargatuan’ (given to the largest dinosaurs)
Withbthe Japanese penchant for L and R being interchangeable, the Giraffe could be Light element. I was goping for an Anime that was a true modern era story Anime. Not a silly short miniseries.
This is awesome, I grew up with Beast wars, Unicron trilogy and Power rangers Wildforce, this feels like a mix of my childhood 😅. I can't wait to see more from this, I especially like "Lightall" and "Ignitebite" (very Lio Convoy looking).
I'm hoping these shorts are basically just a pilot/toy ads like how Shinkalion was when it first debuted before it got a full TV anime series. Then hopefully we might get an actual full TV anime, even if it's just 13 episodes. I just want Brave-style super robot Japanese Transformers again!
I think the giraffe might be lightning elemental with IgniteWolf probably being another fire bot for the autobots/maximals. Leafback is most likely an earth elemental
This was actually leaked through a Chinese distributor. They leaked this through a group chat saying that they are just discussing the new stuff lmao. And they are cooked after this leak
The packs will not have unique decos likely look at shinkalion (which used to be this slot in toys) there 2 packs contain unaltered figures I wonder if megatron is meant to be the dark rival character?
Wow, I'm more excited for this line. Then that bland age of the primes one. That Hasbro is rolling out. This just feels so fun and creative, maybe it's time that Hasbro let's Japan come up with the transformer stuff and just import here.
@@randallxcain9935 I've see the list for Age of the Primes. And I don't care how good the toys are. Unless they are characters that I'm interested in. I got no reason to spend my money on it. ruclips.net/video/k07GI7iXEZg/видео.html
Transformers toylines not focused on collectors have crashed in burned in Japan since Prime, and Earthspark was yet another failure. It's not surprise they decided to make a toyline that might actually sell rather than import another unsuccessful cartoon.

I love how Megatron’s combined mode is a fusion of G1, Armada and Beast Wars. I might have to get that.
Meanwhile the Armada design was a fusion of G2 and BW, weve come full circle xD

I also hope the Transformers Wild Thing Anime gets an international release and an English Dub with well talented voice actors.
@@omegamaximus1727imagine if Johnny Young Bosch voices bee again like he did for WFC
Agreed. I'm blind, and the only way I could truly enjoy it is with a good english dub.
@@Archive_7802 then again I could also see people Chris Sabat as Optimus Prime and Patrick Seitz as Megatron.

FINALLY some damn TF Anime!

As the Zone opens says: Go! Attack!!!
So it's like the RoTB Beast Alliance but better?
I'm looking forward to seeing some clearer pictures.

LONGRACK MY BELOVED, IT'S BEEN TOO LONG 😭
Hope that means Big Convoy and co are coming
Last time I saw that guy on shelves it was for TF Cybertron
Technically it's a different character, not Longrack
That Megatron looks like a retool of Megatronus in the feet chest and weapon.
It's not
It's cool to see more beast mode Transformers.
Withbthe Japanese penchant for L and R being interchangeable, the Giraffe could be Light element.
I was goping for an Anime that was a true modern era story Anime. Not a silly short miniseries.
Well, it is a series of short anime almost akin to Go!, I do not mind about that concept.

Let's go a new Transformers anime.!!!!!
@JdjjdeDdjdjjdjid 2025!!!!
Transformers Wild Force ft. GaoKing Prime
Interesting.....😮
Dead in 2004-Born in 2025 Welcome back transformers super link
Huh, I fire breathing tyrannosaur, where have I seen that befo-
*Dinosaur King Theme Intensifies*
Lightall, Hydrophant, Captain Volca, Leafback, Ignitebite, Spirituan
Yeah, I was going to say, that's definitely Lightall (light + tall).
Looks like Power Rangers, I'm a fan
Maybe will be change and air to Takara Tomy T-Spark official channel 🤔
It looks like the weapons transform into the Combine mode Head which I find interesting. It reminds me a lot of Power Core Combiners in a way.
I fucking pray Hasbro imports this
They will not
The giraffe is probably light or lightning since raito is the japanese way to say light
Im hoping the smaller figures are core class sized 🙏🙏
This was actually leaked through a Chinese distributor. They leaked this through a group chat saying that they are just discussing the new stuff lmao. And they are cooked after this leak
Any more info? Like when we'll hear more about this.
@Brandon-McFadden. They basically got fined for this and nothing too major happened afterwards.
They just got fined after this and nothing major happened
@nemesisprime0213 oh, I heard the other day that Takara got mad and Asked TFW2005 to remove the images. Hopefully we see the figures soon.
Will we get the combiner we want
The packs will not have unique decos likely look at shinkalion (which used to be this slot in toys) there 2 packs contain unaltered figures
I wonder if megatron is meant to be the dark rival character?
A bit of a shame its not a TV anime, but alas
Why couldn't it be Optimus Prime with the dinosaur-based transformers on his side instead of Megatron?!
(not) Beast Wars!
We need a new leobreaker and nemesis-breaker for this toyline and anime (hopefully)
Id be funny if it was something like tohos chibi godzilla series
Will this show have StarScream, Shockwave and Soundwave in it?
Does anyone know where I could find these or are they not out for pre order anywhere yet
We technically aren't supposed to know they exist yet
Wow, I'm more excited for this line. Then that bland age of the primes one. That Hasbro is rolling out. This just feels so fun and creative, maybe it's time that Hasbro let's Japan come up with the transformer stuff and just import here.
We've seen literally only 1 Age of the Primes figure and it looked good lol, all the Wildoking stuff looks like it has the articulation of bricks
@@randallxcain9935 I've see the list for Age of the Primes. And I don't care how good the toys are. Unless they are characters that I'm interested in. I got no reason to spend my money on it.

@@benconforzi5696your personal disinterest =/= bland
Very cool. I can't wait to see this.
oh great on top of 2 combiner teams now i have to hunt down new japan only dinobots, my wallet is dead already lol.

Wait are you saying we’re getting a transformers anime 🤔🤔
Yes, there's already been like 8 of them
it's 2 grass type, 2 water type, and 2 fire types
If it’s set in g1 continuity I’ll get them.😊
I’m sorry but combining animals with transformers looks a little too childish.
First
We got this before Masterpiece Beast Wars Rattrap????! 🤦♂️🙄🤮
Shocking: Two things can go on at once
Never been a fan of any Japanese style Transformers anime stuff.
